We’ve been working with beautiful and complex jewelry designs (including the LACE collection by Jenny Wu featured in the link above) to bring you reliable burnout and casting instructions. A detailed tutorial can be found below.

Thanks for making that clear ! I’m sure you guys are aware that there is a market there, with professionals, artisans and artists all having a use for this. Plus it would make the Form2 that much more capable of producing real functional parts Can’t wait to see what comes next with the new LT tank’s new capabilities !

HI Formlabs folk, Whats the shrinkage on the new resin? does it shrink if kept for a few days or does it have to be invested and cast immediately? Does it expand in the plaster and damage the mould like the original castable resin does? Can you cast thicker parts with it without mould damage? say 4mm thick and over?
